Pension vs Compensation for veterans benefits explained
The text explains differences between VA compensation and pension programs. It notes compensation covers service connected disabilities for veterans or dependents, while pension targets non service connected total disabilities or death. Income limits apply to pension but not to compensation, with specific annual thresholds based on family status. It also covers counting certain VA payments as income, age rules for children, and eligibility nuances for widows and dependent parents.
